A few months ago my Mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and will undergo major surgery Monday. Due to this among other things I am putting SDW on hold until mid November. I apologize to any fans I let down and hope to see you all in a month. Thanks for understanding.

Update (TL;DR at the bottom)
As the story with TV2 broke early to the public. I didn't have proper time to write a statement. So just a quick update from my side and reflection on the last few years.
I took a break from competitive CS in early 2022 after being benched, as I simply didn't have the same passion for playing. I could have continued elsewhere, but I wanted to explore all possibilities before making an important decision. In the start of 2022 I got offered a full time role at the analyst broadcast role for TV2, as I had some prior work with them. I did think about it a lot, as I still had a “name” and “talent” in the scene
But I decided to actually go for the TV2 role. So I spoke with Astralis about mutual termination of my contract, and told them that I would like to do something else for the next period. And they respected my choice
It came to a lot of people's surprise that I wasn't gonna continue playing, but I really wanted to try something different after playing for 5-6 years. I got challenged at TV2 constantly learning and overcoming new tasks. But sadly it wasn’t sustainable for them to keep going into 2024, and that means everybody got laid off. I always worked on different projects on the side, which doesn’t mean i'm going jobless into next year.
So what will the future look like? I realized that I enjoy the broadcast role more than actually playing, even though both are a privilege. (CS:GO / CS2)
I won't be returning to active play, probably also washed atm ^^. But If I was offered an opportunity or a chance to do some part-time analyst broadcast work at ESL, BLAST or any TO sending CS in 2024. Then I'm always open to talk, both for Danish and English opportunities.
I currently have 2+ years of live broadcast experience with 5 years of recent pro level play, combined with relevant tactical insight into top teams and coaches. While also maintaining a high individual level at FaceIT, which also helps me keep being on my toes.
TL;DR: I took a break from competitive CS after being benched and joined TV2. I enjoyed it but sadly, TV2 stopped. I won't return to playing but am open to analyst broadcast opportunities in 2024.
